    Takuya Watanabe

    I am dedicated to research and development aimed at preemptively preventing advanced cyber attacks by demonstrating novel threats from the attacker's perspective. In particular, I strive to explore attacks on targets that affect a wide range of internet users, such as web, mobile, and smart devices, and aim for fundamental countermeasures.
